toddler boys patent leather shoes for tux

lilibet

Hi! I don't visit this board much, but I am hoping you local ladies can point me in a helpful direction. My son is going to be in his uncle's wedding in a couple weeks. We have a little tux for him, but no shoes.

I'm hoping for a local place to get them, but I haven't had luck. I'm worried that ordering them online with not work out for some reason (not look like the photo, sizing not right since we can't try them on, etc.). Nordstrom and stride rite have been no help, and I can only find bulky plain black leather toddler dress shoes at places like target and payless. There are so many dressy shoes for girls, but I can't find any black patent boys shoes. DS wears a 5 right now.

Has anyone seen a store with dressy boys clothes that may have patent tuxedo shoes? I'm not aware of any such local places; I'm in the Arlington/Falls Church area, but I work in downtown DC, so anything in DC/northern VA would work.

Thanks for any help!

The Burlington store on Route 50 near Jermantown Rd. in Fairfax has a ton of kids clothes upstairs.  They have several little boys suits.  I'm not sure about shoes, but it wouldn't hurt to call and ask.

I was going to say to check Burlington as well. They seem to have a lot of dressy type clothes for kids.

Call Monday's Child in Old Town Alexandria to see if they might have them.

Could you call a tux rental place and see if they have shoes for little boys?  I would think not, but it might not hurt to try.
